We want more: Jose Mourinho after Manchester United’s League Cup title

Speaking to talkSPORT’s Kick Off show, Silvestre said of the 35-year-old: “He has been a great signing”.

The south coast side were dealt another sucker punch in the 38th minute though when Marcos Rojo found Lingard in far too much space and the young striker clinically guided a shot past the wrong-footed Forster.

Ibrahimovic has been, by some way, Manchester United’s best player this season and his goals have been vital in their surge towards the Champions League spots.

After the match, his star teammate Paul Pogba praised Ibrahimovic but didn’t seem to remember that he was signed on a free transfer.

“This is a team effort”.

“I came here when people thought it was impossible for me to do what I am able to do”.

“This is what I predicted”. You’ve got someone who has an ego to match his.

This is what I predictedSky Sports – “Wherever I went, I won”.

“If needed I think they will go for sure”. My friend, I keep doing it.

Jose Mourinho says Manchester United fans should camp outside Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s house to convince him to stay. I will not play one game by being Ibrahimovic and for what I did before. I will not be like others, still playing because they are who they are.

‘At the minute it is about enjoying it, you don’t want to dissect it just now, enjoy it and come next week we have got some chasing to do in the league’.

The Manchester United boss is well-known for his attention to detail, but the Portuguese is believed to have taken that to a whole new level in recent days.

The outcome could have been very different had Gabbiadini not had a goal wrongly disallowed in the first half with the score 0-0. There’s a lot of disappointment of course.

The happy Red’s gaffer did pay his respects to a game Southampton side and manager Claude Puel, “His team did fantastic work and to lose in the 87th minute gives very little time to try to react”.

“It is not easy to win titles, it is not easy to win titles so many times, it is not easy to cope with the pressure that I put myself under all of my career”.
